I mean, I thought about when we first built “The Dome,” I wanted to put some of those little moving bars and give everybody a little card. They’d stick it in a little computer slot. If they were tithing, beautiful music would go off and, you know, [Creflo sings] “Welcome, welcome, welcome to the World Dome.” [Congregation laughs.]But…if they were non-tithers, the bar would lock up, the red and blue lights would start going, the siren would go off, and a voice would go out throughout the entire dome, “Crook, crook, crook, crook!” [Congregation laughs.] Security would go and apprehend them, and once we got them all together, we’d line them up in the front and pass out Uzis by the ushers and point our Uzis right at all those non-tithing members ’cause we want God to come to church, and at the count of three “Jesus”-es we’d shoot them all dead. And then we’d take them out the side door there, have a big hole, bury them, and then go ahead and have church and have the anointing. -Creflo Dollar |

Most frequently the word ekklesia designates a circle of believers in some definite locality, a local church, irrespective of the question whether these believers are or not assembled for worship. Some passages contain the added idea that they are assembled, Acts 5:11, 11:26; 1 Cor. 11:18, 14:19,28,35, while others do not, Rom. 16:4, 1 Cor. 16:1, Gal. 1:2, 1 Thess. 2:14 etc.In some cases the word denotes what may be called a domestic ekklesia, the church in the house of some individual. Rom.16:23, 1 Cor. 16:19, Col. 4:15, Phil. 2. In a more general sense the word serves to denote the whole body, throughout the world, of those who outwardly profess Christ, and organize for purposes of worship, under the guidance of appointed officers. This meaning is somewhat in the foreground in the first epistle to the Corinthians, 10:32, 11:22, 12:28, but also present in Ephesians, though in that letter the emphasis is on the church as a spiritual organism, especially Eph. 4:11-16. - Louis Berkhof, Systematic Theology.

Jim Lincoln writes: you will see it isn't the dispensationalists that have things confused.The gospel has done away with the distinction the dispensationalist perpetuates. Galatians 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. Ephesians 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. 2:14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; |
